The commune secretary shook Lin Wanqiu's hand and said in a friendly tone, "Comrade Lin Wanqiu, you not only run your own businesses well, but you also lead other businesses to develop together. This spirit deserves praise. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell the commune, and we will fully support you."

Lin Wanqiu was deeply moved: "Thank you, Secretary, thank you, Lao Yang. We will definitely manage the business well, live up to the commune's expectations, and contribute more to the commercial development of the city."

On the day of the trial opening, a long queue had already formed in front of the store before dawn. Many customers had come all the way from the county town, while others had heard about the tasting event and wanted to try the pastries from "Late Autumn Food Shop". Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou were extremely busy, while Shen Nian'an helped collect money and give change behind the counter, her little face full of seriousness.

Wang Fugui also arrived, bringing several of his employees, and volunteered to help maintain order: "Boss Lin, there are a lot of people today, so we're here to lend a hand as a way of thanking you for your guidance."

Lin Wanqiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss Wang."

After a busy morning, most of the snacks and baby food in the shop had been sold. During her lunch break, Lin Wanqiu sat behind the counter, drinking the water handed to her by Shen Tingzhou, watching the still bustling crowd outside, feeling a sense of peace. She thought of the hardships she faced when she transmigrated to this era, the days of being tormented by her in-laws and framed by relatives, and then looked at her life now—a loving husband, sensible children, a thriving business, and supportive fellow villagers. She felt that all the hard work had been worthwhile.

Shen Tingzhou sat down beside her and took her hand: "Wanqiu, you see, we made the right choice. As long as we stick to quality and operate with integrity, we will definitely be able to do business well."

Lin Wanqiu leaned on Shen Tingzhou's shoulder, her eyes full of anticipation: "Yes, in the future we will open more branches and make the 'Wanqiu' brand even more famous, so that more people can eat the snacks and baby food we make. When Nian'an and Xixi grow up, we will let them take over and pass on this business."

Shen Nian'an ran over and hugged Lin Wanqiu's leg: "Mom, I want to be like you when I grow up, and make the most delicious desserts so that everyone will like them!"

Lin Wanqiu smiled and patted her son's head: "Okay, Mom will wait for that day."

As the sun set, its golden rays bathed the "Late Autumn Food Shop" signboard, turning the large vermilion characters a warm orange. The crowd outside gradually dispersed, and Lin Wanqiu, Shen Tingzhou, and Shen Nian'an tidied up the shop, their faces radiating satisfaction. They knew that the success of the trial operation was just the beginning; many more challenges awaited them, but as long as the family worked together, no difficulty was insurmountable.
